A social experiment in quilty communication and collaboration. Discover a virtual patchwork of quilters throughout the year: each week a new quilter will take over the 52Quilters twitter, blog and instagram. The goal of this project is to document the collective crafted life of quilters.

Get Involved

Are you a creative quilter who is (or aspires to be) active on social media? This is a fab chance to share your life, showcase some skills and gain some new followers.

For 2019 - Each month will be curated by a monthly host, who will takeover the account and introduce you to a theme which will be explored by a group of quilters who take over that month.

We have now agreed the monlthy themes and are looking for quilters to takeover under these themes:

- February - Fabric Design/Customizaton
- March - Organisation
- April - English Paper Piecing
- May - Quilting in Small Spaces
- June - Teen Projects/Working with youth
- July - Quilting Challenges - for those who take part or set challenges
- August - Double Sided Quilts
- September - Big Block Quilts
- October - Small Makes
- November - Long Arm Quilting
- December - Vintage Inspiration

It takes all sorts to make a patchwork: we are looking for traditional and modern quilters, beginners and experts, ladies and gents, young and old, social media superstars and first-time tweeters… and you don't have to exclusively make quilts (you can make and share other stuff too). We are also looking for quilt designers, fabric designers, and others who want to host a month of 52Q.

If you only want to join a week of 52Q, then please wait as we'll be recruiting weekly participants in January. This recruitment is only for people who want to propose a monthly theme.

If you think you would like to get involved please fill in this form by 11:59 pm GMT on Saturday 26 January.

Please note: I do not make any money from 52Q and I organise it as a volunteer, so please be patient if you email or DM with questions - I'll do my best to get back to everyone.

About
